that engine is nothing more than an aluminum block and heads 4.3 litre
gm v6 with 2 cylinders removed. small block chevy shit should fit this thing, timing chains, valves, rocker arms, etc. if this breaks down and it will any red neck garage with an inbred mecnik can swing a hammer at it.
remember MOTUS=Made Of Totally Useless Stuff

I think its pretty ugly, and I'd likely never buy one, but I gotta wait for the review at BikeLand.com before I decide.

Something tells me you're never going to have to worry about whether or not you'd ever buy one. These will be about as available as a hoverboard from Back to the Future. Although...I hear Bikeland is first on the list to test one of those when they're released.

And before you say it’s ugly, remember it’s up against Honda’s VFR1200.

The relaxed riding position machine is designed for post-sportsbike riders and combines a blend of old and new tech calculated to be maximally seductive to US buyers and lovers of ‘real motorcycles’ in Europe.

Its 90-degree V4 mates pushrod valve operation with direct fuel injection – the automotive equivalent of false teeth and g-string. But based on a Le Mans GT1-class-winning design you’d be wrong to scoff at the spec.

The lump is claimed lighter, more compact and more easily serviceable than comparable rival units. And the whole package undercuts the VFR1200 by a good 40kg."

if true, that'd put the bike right around 230kg, which is pretty darn light for a 'big' sport tourer. about the same as the old Sprint ST, iirc...
